ERASMUS+: Promoting STEM Education through Teacher Training

Skills of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) are becoming increasingly important part in today’s society. STEM-related careers are some of the fastest growing and best paid of the 21st century, and they often have the greatest potential for job growth.Creating a solid STEM foundation through an integrated curriculum is the best way to ensure that students are exposed to science, technology, engineering and math maths throughout their educational career. It is also important for educators to have a skill set allowing them to inform students on STEM careers prospects, motivate them and to support them. The 5 days training course will focus on enriching STEM curriculum through innovative activities for students, available learning and teaching resources as well as enriching educator’s skills on engaging and motivating their students. The course will also explore the need to involve the local community and organisations. The course is ideal for educators who teach STEM and want to further enrich their lessons. The training as well could be adapted for the beginners who would like to implement STEM curriculum in their schools.

I attended the course „Promoting STEM Education through Teacher Training” between 24/06/2019 and 28/06/2019 in Palermo. It was a very useful training. Our trainer, Heloisa Pugliese was well prepared. She introduced us a wide variety of methods to teach STEM in a fun way. There were 7 participants from 5 different countries in our group. We had the chance to collaborate and share our good practices. I made some new friends as well. I liked the course very much. I can highly recommend it to you. Thank you for the possibility to take part in this training.

Informative, efficient course about STEM. The course trainer is professional, knows the subject very well and is able to report it to the participants. She gave lots of material. It would be great that a visit to a STEM school was organized.
